Doing the usual twitter rounds and dug up apparently Lewis' slow lap wasn't about backing up Max. He actually went quicker in that outlap then most his previous quali outlaps and Bottas was just a head on track so he couldn't really go quicker.
Oh chance of rain at start. If its a little later could help those on softs. Sounds like more wind and 180 degree change of direction could make it interesting.
This is a good chance for Bottas to prove he can be a great number 2 by aggressively defending into the first 2 corners to sucker Max into ending his own race again.
Max today after the second corner, after that........ They have the better handling car I think . So the sooner dries out the more chance NB have .
Red bull cooling pu to the max. I wonder if somehow they are trying to cool something so the incoming air is as dense as possible?
Long afternoon with changing conditions potentially. But that was a short fight. And Bottas did technically get Max. Lol
